I'll start...(with the easy one 
)
1. Shorten factory antenna by 12" - 14" with a Dremel tool. Pop off the ball on the end with some papertowels and wrench, cut the desired length off, shave down the end of the antenna a bit, superglue the ball back on. Cost - $0.00
2. Add footwell lights. Don't know how, others have done it. Someone post the frickin instructions!!! Cost - ???
Keep them coming....

For V6 cars:
Mr. Wick Foglight Mod. Twenty bucks.
235/60 x 16 tires. Took the car directly to Big Ten Tire the day I bought it, traded in the stock skinny 215 tires (50 bucks apiece tradein allowance). Replaced 'em with 235 Kumho Ecsta's at $69.95 apiece, minus the tradein ended up paying twenty bucks apiece for the new skins (plus installation, of course).
4.0 Badges for the front fenders. Ten bucks apiece from Autobadges.com
GT mufflers. Free from a local guy who installed a Steeda catback.
Spoiler. $100 from Casco. It was already the right color.

Don't forget the tail light mod - do a search for the thread and there is a detailed thread on the addition of the footwell interior lights too. Both of these mods only require a few connectors/18guage wire/12v wedge base sockets and bulbs/two low profile taillight sockets (you can reuse the dual filament Ford bulbs already installed).
